> Proper maintenance gets you a long way. One thing I discovered recently is that vehicle maintenance and regular inspections are not a requirement in the US for it to be street-worthy, I found that surprising given how important cars are there in many cities. Here in Italy cars must go through this inspection in their fourth year and then every two years, by law. Not doing that can get your vehicle confiscated. Same for insurance, it's illegal to drive without one.
